Well the place that I currently reside does not have a garage. But it does have a small prefab building in the back yard that was used as a sewing/storage room by the previous owner. I have converted into what I feel is a pretty good work shop with all things considered. It is small, 15ft X 10ft with only one small window and one standard size door, but it does have heat and A/C! Even though it is small I organized well to try and cut down on clutter! Enough babbling, here it is!

From the outside you would never suspect the mayhem inside!Some shots creating a panoramic view around the insideThe work benchPegboard organizationSoon my newest bike purchase will be in there and a standing drill press!

Twisted - that is actually a sweet little spot you have. It would be real easy to have 2 people work for a couple hours and pounding beers the whole time.

And JRK, about that carpeting..... whenever we moved into our house I somehow "inherited" my sister-in-laws 5' by 7' rug. The thing was hideous to me so I plopped it down in the garage by the couch and beer fridge. Soon as my wife saw it all I heard was "Are you crazy? That's an Eddie Bauer rug! You'll ruin it in here!!". Didn't wanna tell her but that was the whole point.

That is a good shop. I remember working out of a 8 x 12 and it wasn't bad. Its easier to keep what you absolutely need and get rid of what you don't. I like the way you have your stuff very well organized on the wall. A place for everything and everything in its place. It really is amazing how much more a guy can get done when he isn't looking for lost, misplaced, or buying/shopping for items that he already has on a shelf somewhere.

Agreed! I bow to you superiority! My place looks like a bakery in comparison to most of you guys work spaces! I will not let that effect my build though! I just got this place looking this way, as you can tell there is no oil and grime on the work bench. I have had several shops in the past (at my parents house then my own garage) and I know it won't take long to break it in.
